RFA: Add GCC Runtime Library Exception to include/plugin-api.h
include/plugin-api.h defines an ABI between linker and compiler, which can be used to implement linker plug-in by any compilers. I'd like to add GCC Runtime Library Exception to include/plugin-api.h so that the linker plug-in can have non-GPL licenses. Thanks. -- H.J.

Rene Engelhard pointed me to https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69327 which might explain some of these segfaults. -- Martin Michlmayr Linux for HPE Helion, Hewlett Packard Enterprise

My guess would be that most segfaults are caused by the much more aggressive optimization based on the assumption that "this" must never be NULL in C++. QT5, Chromium and Kdevelop all call methods from a NULL pointer and crash for this reason. -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is a workaround. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68853 for an analysis of the Chromium crash. -- Markus
